West Lafayette, Ind. - The Nebraska men's tennis team saw some impressive results in doubles at the Big Ten Singles Championships on Friday. The Husker duo of Marc Herrmann and Beau Treyz advanced to the semifinal round of the main doubles draw while Andrew Dzulynsky and Vasileios Stavropoulos made it through to the consolation doubles semifinals after a tough first round loss in the main draw.

"The doubles team of Marc (Herrmann) and Beau (Treyz) continue to play solid doubles and are in the semifinals tommorrow and I like their energy and attitudes," Nebraska Head Coach Kerry McDermott said. "Vasileios (Stavropoulos) and Andrew (Dzulynsky) are in the semifinals of consolations and its good to see them bounce back after a first round loss. Singles were a little disappointing as we only got Marc, Beau, Dusty (Boyer), and Vasileios through the first round. Hopefully these guys can get a good showing and get much further in the tournament."

Nebraska's Herrmann and Treyz are set to face Minnesota's Eric Frueh and Ruben Weber in the doubles semifinals while fellow Husker pair Dzulynsky and Stavropoulos will battle Iowa's Dierckx and Hagan in the doubles consolation semifinals.

Nebraska has four players in the second round of the singles main draw. Boyer is scheduled to challenge Michigan's Alex Buzzi while Husker teammate Stavropoulos takes on Northwestern's Kirchheimer. NU's Herrmann goes head-to-head with Michigan State's Davis while Big Red teammate Treyz faces Indiana's Davila.
